We hypothesized that OSA with objective EDS is associated with higher levels of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) when compared with self-reported EDS. We, therefore, examined the associations between objective and self-reported EDS with SNA in patients with OSA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We studied 147 consecutive male patients with OSA from the institutional sleep clinic. Objective EDS and self-reported EDS were defined based on Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) latency \u2264 8 minutes and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) &amp;gt; 10, respectively. Twenty-four-hour urinary norepinephrine was used for assessing SNA. Blood pressure (BP) was measured both in the evening and in the morning.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Twenty-four-hour urinary norepinephrine was significantly higher in patients with OSA with objective EDS compared with those without objective EDS (p = 0.034), whereas it was lower in patients with OSA with self-reported EDS compared with those without self-reported EDS (p = 0.038) after adjusting for confounders. Differences in the sympathetic drive were most striking in those with an objective but not self-reported EDS versus those with self-reported but not objective EDS (p = 0.002). Moreover, shorter MSLT latency was significantly associated with higher diastolic BP (\u03b2 = \u22120.156, p = 0.049) but not systolic BP. No significant association between ESS scores and BP was observed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Objective, but not self-reported EDS, is associated with increased SNA and diastolic BP among males with OSA, suggesting that objective EDS is a more severe phenotype of OSA that is
